December 2014 - Tokyo Dolpa 32

Submitted by green on Tue, 04/07/2015 - 23:07

Tokyo Dolpa in Dec 2014 was pretty big again, but we came in force this time with a lot of friends, thanks to that and a number of guidebooks,we (our friends, really) managed to score a real good number. First time I held such a low number in my hands.

Dolpa limited items line area.

After beginning of the line has formed, we are moving towards purchase area now.

People get to choose limited items they want in an area like this.

Since we were so early in the line, all items were still available (and there were a lot of highly desired re-releases!)

After collecting the right-for-purchase tickets, it was now time to actually go to the dolpa itself.

I started with a run through dealers to see what interesting stuff do they have there, so here's a random collection of their goods:

Dolls Drug Kingdom dealer.

TowaTowa dealer.

They had a bunch of wolf-related stuff and a long line of prospective buyers.

Temariya shop.

DD weapons are always popular.

Whole racks of doll clothes!

Whole shelves of doll boots too.

Pons + Llave

I don't know who is this, but they gave me a chocolate bar ;)

This dealer is always at dolpas with their elaborate wire accessories.

Now, this was a very strange sight. Typically VOLKS does not allow any non-VOLKS BJDs at their events, but these don't look like VOLKS bodies at all.

Furniture vendor Tsuki no neko (moon cat)

Very cute dragon

This was a pretty elaborate setup too.

This is about as much at the dealer section as I had time for. There was a lot more interesting stuff, though, that I somehow did not capture.

Moving on to the VOLKS display.

First up is a one-for-all auction Alice and little Alice.

It was very popular as people swarmed around it trying to get a picture.

And we also returned to the One-for-all auction display near the end of the event when nobody was there anymore:

Here's the lot #1 - Reisner. It sold for 305000 yen (about $2900 at the then exchange rate of ~105 yen per $1).

And the Lot #2 that we have seen already, but in a bit better quality. They sold for 760,000 yen (about $7238)
